What Changes for BISP Beneficiaries in July 2025?

For thousands of low-income families in Pakistan, the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) is not just government aid it’s a vital lifeline. This year, the program is getting a big upgrade: a new payment system through retailer-based centres.

Previously, many women had to travel long distances to collection camps or banks, standing in long lines for hours. Now, with the government’s new system, beneficiaries can withdraw cash support directly from nearby authorised shops and agents.

The quarterly stipend has also increased from Rs. 13,500 to Rs. 14,500 a modest but meaningful boost that helps households cope with rising daily expenses like groceries, school costs, and medicine.
